Fabrication driven design
On the correlation
of robotic fabrication potentialities and constrains with design technology and
methodology
Description
The target objectives are:
á Implementing advance fabrication and robotic construction technique
á Getting acquainted with correlated design technology and tool development
á Considering the fabrication potentialities and constraints
á Fabrication driven design through physical and structural simulation
Achieving these objectives, two prototypes with similar design brief but different robotic fabrication technique will be designed and assembled. The goal is to design bridge/beam like 3D assembly, considering the fabrication technique potentialities and constraints. The developed customized design tools, procedures and templates by organizers would assist the participant in the design process.
Prototype 1:
Aimed to implement voxelation techniques that allow us parametrically provide constructible model from a B-Rep geometry. Therefore based on this construction methods, voxelation technique will be enhanced through parallel evaluation and physical simulation checking the stability of the voxels.
Prototype 2:
The focus is on diamond wire cutting technique. Therefore, in design process participant will be guided to design developable surfaces for each of the assembly components. In both, participants are asked to produce required fabrication information for robots.
Dates
Monday 16 & Tuesday 17 September (14:00-18:00).
Participants requirements
Participants need to bring their personal laptop and have Intermediate knowledge on parametric design, Rhino and grasshopper. Having skill and knowledge on programming, fabrication, structural design and physics or statics will be considered as an asset.
